Traditional alarm systems are reactive by design — they trigger after the breach. Ithildin Core is a local AI security appliance that watches continuously, reasons about what it sees, and delivers structured intelligence briefings directly to your inbox.
The traditional security market sells reactive fear. You deserve a system that operates the same way a professional analyst does.
Every step of the pipeline either runs locally on your Core or is processed ephemerally. No proprietary data is ever retained by Ithildin Systems.
IP cameras stream RTSP over your LAN. The Ithildin Core decodes video using Intel QuickSync — efficient enough to run 24/7 at under 10W without thermal throttling.
On-device ML classifies objects in real-time (persons, vehicles, animals). You define the trigger rules. An event payload is published to a local MQTT broker — no internet required.
The embedded Python orchestrator intercepts the event, extracts the relevant high-resolution frame, and retrieves your custom analysis prompt from the local SQLite database.
A single encrypted API call sends the frame to Google Gemini for contextual reasoning. Processing is stateless and ephemeral — Gemini retains nothing between calls.
The structured response is formatted into an intelligence briefing and dispatched from your @ithildinsystems.com address. Your inbox becomes your operations center.
Each scheduled Sitrep is a structured intelligence brief, not a spam notification. Written the way a professional analyst would write it.
Two purpose-built components. The Core is the on-premises intelligence server — compact, silent, designed to disappear into a utility closet and run indefinitely. The Eye is the camera: weatherproof, matte black, and built for continuous outdoor operation.
The hardware pays for itself in peace of mind. The subscription funds continuous intelligence improvements — with no hidden fees, no per-camera charges, no cloud storage ransom.
We built this for people who don't trust their security footage to a vendor. That's not a feature — it's a first principle.
All recording, storage, and motion detection runs on the Ithildin Core in your home. Video footage never leaves your property — only AI analysis requests do, ephemerally.
Gemini processes each frame in isolation. No video data is retained on Ithildin Systems servers. Ever. We designed the pipeline to be architecturally incapable of retention.
If AI analysis is unavailable, the system automatically falls back to motion alerts with captured images. The intelligence layer is additive — you are never left blind.
We are conducting a controlled v1 rollout to validate real-world performance before scaling. Submit your details to be assessed for inclusion in the first cohort.
